Before every 2 weeks and water seemed pretty clear But now I am doing every week and vacuuming bottom every 2-3 days as I think that I might have disturbed the bio system after removing substrate.

Thanks that's helpful, But is there a way out to this ? shall i put substrate back. Since substrate removed, I have notice ammonia levels fluctuating and I have to do water change weekly.

Hi, For Past few weeks every time I do water change, next morning I see Dusty White Aquarium. Specially the wood goes white and the glass. I do 25% water change in 1-2 weeks time in 180l aquarium with 50% RO water and 50% Tap Water as Tap Water is very hard in my county. I have not added any...

Thanks for the great advice. I noticed that all the egg tumblers says it's for Cichlids. I will let them as it is then..

Thanks guys, as suspected Eggs did not hatch and mother ate them all, then 2 days ago she laid eggs again and pair tried to aerate them but at the end they ate the eggs again. My LFS guy said get an egg tumbler and move the eggs in separate small tank until they hatch...Do you know if this is a...

I went to LFS and the guy said 8.2 is normal here in this city, so I have got some med that lowers pH for now before fishes can acclimatize...But I hope my fishes do get acclimatize...btw with pH...

I have not checked pH yet but i thought if fishes are doing fine in hospital tank (with same tap water) then its pH should be fine too in main tank (not to mention i keep bogwood too to lower pH). Fishes didn't show any particular symptoms particularly those died, even dead i couldnt see any...

Hi,   I have got 180L Cycled tank for couple of years now. Due to change of Job, I had to move to different city last week, so decided to put my fishes in small hospital tank & empty the main tank and move to the new place. I know what you guys will be thinking but it wasn't possible for me to...

The Tank is probably more than a year old and I guess i had cychlid pair for more than 6-8 months now. I have not added any new fish recently, not in last 2 months

I am not sure what you mean from pristine water? Anyway I have changed water, trying to feed her mashed peas but I don't think she is eating much or at all.   Yes dropsy maybe, I have treated water with "interpret anti internal bacteria" which explains pretty much same, what my cichlid is going...
